Troubleshooting

If Firefly does not open.

  • It is normal for the password field in Terminal to stay blank while you type.
  • If you see a permission error, make sure you used sudo and your account is an administrator.
  • To undo the change, restore the backup, flush DNS, and reopen Growtopia.
